GED/HSED Records Requests

Official transcripts for other colleges and job applications must be processed through the WI
Department of Public Instruction office. To receive an official transcript call 1-800-768-8886 or
use the following website:http://ged-hsed.dpi.wi.gov/ged_trnscrpt. The state fee for a new

MPTC GED/HSED transcripts are processed only at the Fond du Lac Campus for in-house

Moraine Park will still be able to verify if someone has earned a GED or HSED and the completion
date to employers or other colleges. Test scores can’t be relayed in this manner but this simpler
verification is usually helpful for both applicant and employer. Such inquiries can be directed to Candi
